Note: while at it, I have also removed older deprectationdeprecation warnings.

Issue

When trying to override compatibility with NVDA 2026.1beta1, an error occurs at startup and the add-on cannot load. This is due to the fact thatversion_year has been moved in 2026.1.

Once this first issue is fixed, various deprecation warning can occur:

1. Python Deprecation warning:

DEBUGWARNING - Python warning (22:07:38.937) - MainThread (8924):
C:\Users\cyril\AppData\Roaming\nvda\addons\instantTranslate\globalPlugins\instantTranslate\__init__.py:53: ```
DeprecationWarning: 'locale.getdefaultlocale' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.15. Use setlocale(), getencoding() and getlocale() instead.
  lo_lang = getdefaultlocale()

2. Older NVDA deprecation warning introduced in NVDA 2025.1:

DEBUGWARNING - Python warning (15:02:46.788) - MainThread (13456):
gui\nvdaControls.pyc:317: DeprecationWarning: gui.nvdaControls.MessageDialog is deprecated. Use gui.messageDialog.MessageDialog instead.

3. Older NVDA deprecation warning introduced in NVDA 2023.2:

WARNING - gui.MainFrame._popupSettingsDialog (15:02:33.001) - MainThread (13456):
_popupSettingsDialog is deprecated, use popupSettingsDialog instead.

Solution

• Rather than checking NVDA version, directly try to import speech.speech and else only import speech.
• Regarding the Python deprecation: use getlocale() as recommended.
• Regarding NVDA deprecation, use recommended replacements.

Tests

• Tested translation, automatic translation and translation of last spoken text.
• Tested the GUI dialog and checked that no warning is logged anymore.

• All these tests done with NVDA 2026.1beta6 and NVDA 2019.3
